The venue will feature a wide variety of items that capture the sensibilities of designers and creators, as well as large-scale art projects such as calligraphy and paintings. The store's windows and public spaces will also be bathed in art. "SHINJUKU ART WEEK," linked to the Shinjuku area, will also be held at the same time, with various events themed around art held throughout the entire Shinjuku area.
Key Visual for "ISETAN ART WEEK"
The key visual was created by Yoichiro Uchida. Rather than setting a specific theme, Uchida weaves his intuition or words that have been stuck in the back of his mind onto the canvas, composing the screen like a free jazz jam session. During the exhibition period, you can enjoy Uchida's artwork in the connecting corridor on the 3rd floor of the main building.

Founded in 1940, Tendo Mokko has continued to produce beautiful wooden furniture, such as the Butterfly Stool, which showcases the company's refined molded plywood techniques. Their many masterpieces have been born from the visions of numerous architects and designers. This time, we will be taking on the challenge of giving new form to the overflowing visions of four of today's leading creators: Hirofumi Kiyonaga (Creative Director), Ichiro Yamaguchi (Sakanaction) (Musician), Kashiyuka (Perfume) (Musician), and Junko Kato (Dentist and Creative Director).
